OVERVIEW

INTRODUCING THE MARK LEVINSON NO5805 AND NO5802 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIERS

Congratulations on your purchase of a Mark Levinson® integrated amplifier. You now possess one of the finest audio reproduction devices in the world, a product that will provide an exceptional music listening experience for years to come.
The N0 5805 and N0 5802 harness decades of superlative audio engineering and the latest advancements to deliver unmatched performance and value. With a bold industrial design, fully discrete PurePath cicuitry, PrecisionLinkII DAC, MainDrive headphone power, and potent dual monaural class AB amplification, the N0 5805 and N0 5802 deliver luxurious fidelity with premium features and flexibility. The N0 5805 features analog and digital inputs, while the N0 5802 has digital inputs only. The N0 5805 and N0 5802 are proudly designed, engineered, and precision-crafted in the USA.

Industrial Design

Robust materials, lavish finishes and striking geometry are hallmark attributes of Mark Levinson designs. The one-inchthick, bead blasted, black- anodized, solid aluminum front panels are machined and contoured to flow seamlessly into the sleek glass display, which itself is recessed into a clearanodized aluminum bezel.
The iconic Mark Levinson hourglass knobs are redefined – machined with a gently curved profile transitioning into a rounded front, with feet to match. With debossed top cover vents, screen-printed logo behind the glass panel, and aluminum buttons, no detail has been overlooked. An elegant 5000 Series custom aluminum IR remote control is included.

Digital Audio

The N0 5805 and N0 5802 offer outstanding digital audio capability through the Mark Levinson PrecisionLink II DAC. The latest generation ESS Sabre 32-bit D/A converter with jitter elimination circuitry and a fully balanced, discrete current-tovoltage converter form the heart of the digital audio processing stage. There are seven user selectable PCM filters and 4 lowpass filters for DSD playback.
Both models include MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology, which enables playback of MQA audio files and streams from any digital input. In addition, a Bluetooth receiver equipped with AptX-HD for the highest quality Bluetooth playback available.

Main drive Class A headphone power

Like the acclaimed 500 series components, The N05805 and N05802 feature a MainDrive™ headphone output which employs a preamp output stage specifically designed with the current and power capacity to drive headphones directly in pure class A, without a separate headphone amp.

Amplification

The fully discrete, direct-coupled, class AB amplifier channels get their power from an oversized (500+ VA) toroidal transformer with individual secondary windings for the left and right channels. The voltage gain stage employs a topology directly descended from the acclaimed N0534 amplifier, which is mated to an output stage comprising two high-speed driver transistors operating in class A and six 260V, 15A output transistors. Four 10,000-microfarad capacitors per channel, located directly on the output stage circuit board, easily provide enough current for a conservative 125W/channel at 8 ohms, with significant power increase and reliable operation into 4 and 2 ohm loads. Variable line-level RCA outputs allow system expansion and flexibility.

Control

System integration and communication ports include Ethernet, RS-232, IR input, and 12V trigger input and output. An internal webpage allows setup, import and export of configurations, and software updates using a PC and standard web browser. In addition, drivers are available for major control systems.

N0 5805 Analog Input Stage

The foundation of the N0 5805 is its proprietary PurePath circuitry- a fully discrete, direct-coupled, dual-monaural linelevel preamp circuit, for which the Shelton design team has two patents pending. A unique single gain stage mated to a digitally controlled resistor network for volume adjustment maintains maximum signal integrity and widest possible bandwidth. Each of its three stereo line level inputs—one balanced XLR and two single-ended, using custom Mark Levinson RCA connectors— has its own individual high-reliability signal switching relays.
A newly designed Phono stage features a hybrid gain topology, mating key discrete components from the acclaimed N0 500 series Pure Phono stage with low-noise integrated circuits for high performance and space efficiency. Also like the N0 500 series, a hybrid active/passive RIAA equalizer employs precision resistors and polypropylene capacitors for exceptional accuracy and sonic clarity. The user can select MM/MC gain and infrasonic filter from the setup menu, while capacitive and resistive loading settings are easily accessed from the rear panel.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The N0 5805 is configured at the factory for 100, 115, or 230 VAC power operation at 50Hz or 60Hz. Before operating the amplifier, ensure that the power label on the rear panel near the AC input connector indicates the correct operating voltage. A detachable IEC power cable intended for use in the region where the N0 5805 / N0 5802 is sold is included.
Connection to an AC voltage other than that for which the N0 5805 / N0 5802 is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your N0 5805 / N0 5802 or about the line voltage in your area, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer before plugging the N0 5805 / N0 5802 into an AC power outlet.

WARNING! MAKE SURE all components in the audio system are properly grounded. Do NOT defeat the safety purpose of polarized or grounding-type plugs with “ground-lifter” or “cheater” adapters. Doing so may cause a dangerous voltage to build up between components, which may result in personal injuries and/or product damage.

NOTE: The N0 5805 / N0 5802 is capable of delivering remarkable sound at exceptional power levels. Depending on your listening preferences, the demands of your loudspeakers and the number of power amplifiers present in your system, it is possible electrical service may become the limiting performance factor in your system. If this case occurs, consider installing a dedicated AC circuit for the system. If more than one AC circuit is providing power to your system, contact a licensed electrician to ensure that all components are operating with the same solid, low-impedance ground reference.

Unplug the N0 5805 / N0 5802 from the AC wall outlet during lightning storms and extended periods of non-use.

CAUTION: Before moving the unit, make sure it is powered off by removing the power cord from the AC power outlet and the unit’s rear panel.

OPERATING STATES

The N0 5805 / N0 5802 has three operating states:
Off: The AC mains power is disconnected by removing the power cord from the rear panel. Standby: The Standby mode has three settings that can be selected via the Setup menu: Green, Power Save, and Normal.
Green: This mode removes power from almost all of the amplifier’s circuits, allowing the unit to be activated only via an IR control signal, a 5V – 12V trigger or a double press of the Standby button. This mode provides maximum power conservation and is the factory-default Standby mode.
Power Save: This mode removes power from the audiocircuits, but keeps the control circuitry powered and ready to receive commands from the front panel controls, or the remote control or the web-browser Graphical User Interface (GUI). This mode provides moderate power conservation.
Normal: This mode shuts off the display and mutes its audio outputs, but keeps all of its control and audio circuits powered. This mode provides the least amount of power conservation but allows the N0 5805 / N0 5802s audio circuits to remain warmed up to deliver optimal performance at all times.
On: The entire unit is powered up and all configured outputs are active.
The N0 5805 / N0 5802 has an Auto Off feature that automatically places it into the Standby mode after 20 minutes of no user control input or audio signal passing through the unit. The factory default setting for the Auto Off feature is On (engaged) as required for certain regions. You can disable the Auto Off feature in the Setup menu (see Setup).

REAR-PANEL OVERVIEW NO5802

EXTERNAL COMPONENT CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: Before making connections, make sure the N0 5805/ N0 5802 and all associated components are powered off and disconnected from electrical outlets.

Left and right channel loudspeaker binding posts: The N0 5805 / N0 5802 utilizes gold-plated, high-current loudspeaker binding posts. The positive binding posts, labeled + (positive), are red; the negative binding posts are black and are labeled – (negative).
The binding posts can accommodate speaker cables terminated in un-tinned bare wire, spade lugs and banana plugs.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN the binding posts. DO NOT FORCE the binding post nuts over a bent or oversized connector. Doing so may damage the binding post.

Connect your speakers to the N0 5805 / N0 5802’s loudspeaker binding posts. Use 16-gauge or larger speaker wire to ensure the highest fidelity performance. Connect the speaker’s positive (+) terminal to the N0 5805’s positive (+) red binding post, and the speaker’s negative (–) terminal to the N0 5805’s negative (–) black binding post. Failure to follow correct polarity (+/+, -/-) and connecting the speakers out of phase will result in poor bass response and vague stereo imaging.

CAUTION: Be careful not to short the positive and negative outputs together. Do not short the positive or negative outputs to chassis or any other safety ground.

NOTE: The audio outputs of this power amplifier are considered Class 2 (CL2) circuits in North America. This means the wire connected between this amplifier and the speaker(s) shall be rated at minimum Class 2 (CL2) and shall be installed according to the U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 725 or Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 16.

Main Drive Headphone output (front panel): Connect any headphone equipped with a 1/4” TRS “Phone” plug or adaptor. The speaker and line outputs are muted when headphones are plugged in.
Balanced analog inputs (Nº 5805 only): These connectors accept left- channel and right-channel balanced input signals from source components with balanced (male XLR) output connectors.

Balanced Input Connector (female XLR)

Balanced connector pin assignments:

Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: Chassis ground

Single-ended analog inputs (N05805 only): The N0 5805 has two analog RCA input connectors per channel (labeled S1 and S2) that accept left-channel and right-channel single-ended input signals from source components with unbalanced RCA type output connectors.
Phono inputs (N05805 only): The N0 5805 has two analog phono preamplifier inputs per channel (labeled MM and MC) that accept left-channel and right- channel moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) phono cartridge input signals.
Connect a turntable equipped with a moving coil cartridge to the MM inputs. Connect a turntable equipped with a moving coil cartridge to the MC inputs. You may connect only one turntable to the N0 5805. If the turntable is equipped with a ground wire, connect it to the ground screw. The white DIP switches adjacent to the phono inputs set the input Resistance for moving coil cartridges and the input Capacitance for moving magnet cartridges. Selecting the right setting is essential for getting the best performance from your turntable.
Consult the cartridge’s owner’s manual for the recommended load setting. Use a small tool such as a jeweler’s screwdriver to push the switches up or down as needed. The factory default is all switches in the down position. Follow the chart below to make the correct settings. Choose the setting that is closest to the specified setting. For example, if the specified MC load is 100 Ohms, use the 110 Ohm setting.

CAUTION: The volume should be set to a very low level while re-setting the DIP switches.
CAUTION: Do not use the phono inputs for any source component other than a turntable.

The phono inputs are balanced. Setting the ground switch to the up position references the input to ground which is sometimes useful if there is excessive noise or hum present.

Digital inputs (Nº 5805): The N0 5805 has four digital audio input connectors: an asynchronous USB-B (labeled with a USB icon
), two optical (TOSLINK) S/PDIF connections (labeled T1 and T2) and one coaxial (RCA) S/PDIF connections (labeled C1).
Digital inputs (N05802): The N0 5802 has six digital audio input connectors: An AES/EBU-format XLR connection (labeled AES/EBU), an asynchronous USB-B digital audio connector (labeled with a USB icon ), two optical (TOSLINK) S/PDIF connectors (labeled T1 and T2), and two coaxial (RCA) S/PDIF connectors (labeled C1 and C2).
USB port: This USB Type-A connector allows you to perform firmware upgrades that may be offered in the future, and to import and export setup configurations via a standard USB drive or memory stick (FAT32 formatted). Firmware updates may also be accomplished via download when the unit is connected to a local area network (LAN) via an Ethernet cable. (See page 24 for more detailed firmware update instructions.)
Bluetooth: Bluetooth-enabled smart devices may be paired with the N0 5805 / N0 5802 to stream audio content wirelessly. Integrated Qualcomm® aptX™-HD audio ensures your Bluetooth® wireless enabled device can deliver High Definition (HD) audio. (See Setup on page 19 for Bluetooth pairing instructions.)
Line output connectors: These RCA jacks provide a line-level left-channel and right-channel signal that can be used to send the selected input to an amplifier connected to speakers in a second listening zone, or a recording device.

Note: The Line outputs are variable and will follow the settings of the Volume, Balance and Mute controls.

Ethernet port: This RJ45 jack supports connection to a home network via Cat5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable and allows you to access the Setup menu and other controls via a browser-based setup panel.
IR input connector: This connector accepts IR (infrared) control signals from other equipment. See www.marklevinson.com for IR code data.
RS-232 port: This DB9F connector provides serial control through a standard RS-232 protocol. See www.marklevinson.com for RS232 code data.
Trigger output connector: This 3.5mm tip/sleeve connector can be used to activate other components in the audio system and listening room, such as amplifiers, lights and window shades. A 12V 100mA DC signal is output whenever the N0 5805 / N0 5802 is on. (See illustration below.)

Trigger input connector: This 3.5mm tip/sleeve connector can be connected to the trigger output of another system component or control system that supplies a trigger voltage.
Whenever the units detects a voltage between 5V and 12V DC at this connection it will turn ON. When the trigger signal at this connection ceases the N0 5805 / N0 5802 will enter the Standby mode. (See illustration above.)
AC Mains connector: This connector provides AC power to the N0 5805 / N0 5802 when the supplied power cord is connected from it to an AC electrical outlet. This should be the LAST connection you make in the hookup process.
We recommend that you unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet during lightning storms and extended periods of non-use.

NOTE: After connecting all source components to the N0 5805 / N0 5802, we suggest using the Setup menu to set the names of all unused inputs to “Disable.” This will remove the unused inputs from the list of available inputs and skip over them when scrolling through inputs.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Battery Installation
Your N0 5805 / N0 5802 remote control comes with two AAAalkaline batteries. To install the batteries, use the included hex tool to remove the battery cover, insert the batteries and replace the battery cover and hex screw. Be sure to observe proper battery polarity

Using the Remote Control
When using the remote control, aim it toward the unit’s front panel IR receiver. Make sure that no objects, such as furniture, block the remote’s view of the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lights, and plasma video displays may interfere with the function of the remote.

• The remote has a range of about 17 feet (5m), depending on the lighting conditions.
• You can use the remote at an angle of up to 45° on either side of the unit.
• Placing the amplifier behind tinted glass will reduce the remote control’s effective range.

If the remote control operates intermittently, replace both batteries with new ones.

BROWSER SETUP PAGE (BSP)

The BSP is a highly conveient means of keeping the firmware of your amplifier up to date, for performing setup functions, and monitoring operational faults and temperature. It is accessed via a major web browser on a PC or tablet. In order to access the BSP, you must first connect the unit to your Local Area Network (LAN). If there is no easy access to a LAN there are other means of setup and control, discussed elsewhere in this manual.

• Connect the Ethernet port on the rear panel of the N0 5805 / N0 5802 to an ethernet port on your home network’s router, switch or hub with a Category 5e or Category 6 Ethernet cable.
• Find the IP address of your unit by navigating through the Setup menu to Advanced/Network/IP.
• Open a browser in a PC or tablet that is connected to your home LAN.
• Enter the IP address of your unit in the address line.
• The amplifier’s Browser Setup Panel Home page will appear on the screen.
• The BSP controls are intuitive and behave much like the front panel and remote controls.

_ NOTE: We do not recommend using the BSP as a substitute for the front panel or remote controls for realtime volume, input selection or any other listening mode_ functions due to network latencies.
_ NOTE: The front panel display is replicated on the top of Home and Advanced Update pages_

SETUP

SETUP MENU NAVIGATION

The Setup menus on your Mark Levinson integrated amplifier allow you to customize and configure the unit for higher performance, power economy, and convenience.

Simply type in your units IP address into a major browser connected to the same network as the N0 5805 / N0 5802, and the BSP will appear in a few moments. Network speed and quality of the connection will affect the response time of the BSP (see page 15 for instructions on finding the IP address on your N0 5805 / N0 5802).
The Home screen displays the current active input name near the top of the screen, the current volume level in the slider and navigation controls. In addition there is a SW update button which provides a one touch update from our FTP site. CAUTION: If you choose to update the SW, DO NOT interrupt the process.
Click the Menu icon to activate the setup mode. When the Setup menu is active, use the Left < and Right > arrows to scroll through options, use the Enter icon to select and deselect options, and the up and down ˇ arrows to adjust parameters. To move back a level in the menu structure (or exit the Setup menu), click the Menu button repeatedly until the desired menu appears in the display

INPUT SETUP (5805)

INPUT SETUP (5802)

The following settings are available for all inputs:
Name: This option offers a choice of preset names for the selected input (CD, SACD™, DVD, Blu-ray™, DAC, EQ, etc.). Additionally, the following names are available for each input:
Disabled: This option removes the selected Input from the list of available inputs. The Input will be skipped when scrolling through the inputs.
Custom: This option allows you to enter a custom name for the selected input. Use the Select knob to select the character you want to change, use the Volume control to choose from the list of available characters and press the Enter button to confirm each character. After the ninth character is entered, the new name will be saved.

Browser Setup Page method:
The easiest way to change input name is to select the Utility tab on the BSP.

Select the input you want to rename from the first drop-down menu. These correspond with the labeled inputs on the rear panel.

Select an alternate name (or Disable, or Custom) from the next drop down menu and push OK to save.

If you selected Custom, you can type the custom name in the text box and press OK to save.

Offset: The output level of audio devices can vary from brandto-brand and model-to-model, making some devices play louder or quieter than others. The Offset adjustment allows you precisely compensate for source volume differences so that all connected devices play at a similar volume level. The setting offers a range of –12.0dB to +12.0dB, in 0.5 dB steps.

The following settings are available only for digital and Bluetooth inputs:
PCM Filter: This setting lets you set the filter characteristic for PCM digital content such as the digital output from a CD player. We recommend trying several of these filters with the types of music you typically listen to and choose the one you prefer There are no right or wrong choices.
The available filters are:

• Apodiz Fast
• Hybrid fast
• Brickwall
• Fast linear
• Slow linear
• Slow minimum
• Fast minimum

“Fast” filters provide steeper roll-off at high frequencies and therefore do a better job of attenuating unwanted high frequency “aliased” signals. However, they exhibit more ringing on signal transients.
“Slow” filters exhibit less ringing on transients, but they do a poorer job of attenuating unwanted high frequency signals. “Linear Phase” filters exhibit symmetric pre- and post-ringing, i.e., they ring before and after the transient signal.
“Minimum Phase” filters exhibit only post-ringing, which some listeners feel sounds more natural, but they typically ring for longer than linear phase filters.
The “Hybrid” filter blends some linear phase and some minimum phase characteristics to achieve good high frequency attenuation with reduced pre- ringing.
The “Apodizing” filter blends linear phase characteristics with techniques to reduce pre and post-ringing.
The “Brick Wall” filter is optimized purely for attenuating unwanted high frequency aliased signals.

The following setting is available only for analog inputs B1, S1, S2 (NO5805 only):
SSP: This setting configures the selected analog input for integration with a multichannel surround sound processor.
The Default setting is “Off”. Selecting “On” will pass the signal though the outputs at unity gain and disable volume control.
PLL Lock:
Normal – This is the default setting and is appropriate for almost all sources. Wide – Choose this setting if you experience noise or signal dropouts (most likely from high jitter sources such as cable TV set-top boxes).
Upsample On/OFF:
“Up-sampling” is the process of increasing the effective sampling rate of a digital audio signal. When the user selects this option in the N0 5805/ N0 5802, signals at 44.1, 88.2, or 176.4kHz are up-sampled to 352.8kHz, and signals at 48, 96, and 192kHz are up-sampled to 384kHz. Because these lower resolution signals inherently have fewer samples per second, it is in theory not possible to perfectly re-create the additional samples that would have been present in a higher resolution signal. However, the advanced up-sampling algorithm in the N0 5805 / N0 5802 is able to approximate these additional data points very well, and with most program material it offers a noticeable subjective improvement. Just like the user’s choice of digital filter, it is neither “right” nor “wrong” to enable or disable up-sampling; it is entirely a matter of preference. Selecting “Off” will maintain the original sample rate.
BT Pairing:
Set to Enable and press Enter to start pairing. Start pairing procedure on your Bluetooth device. The name ML580X followed by a 4 digit identifier unique to each unit should appear on your device. Select this to complete pairing. Set to Forget to unpair and forget your device.
BT Name:
This displays the Bluetooth Name that will appear on your Bluetooth player device when scanning to pair. This name cannot be changed.
The following setting is available only for the asynchronous USB input:
DSD Filter: This setting lets you set the low-pass filter characteristic for DSD high-resolution digital content. You can select from roll-offs that begin at 47kHz, 50kHz, 60kHz or 70kHz. The audible effects of the different roll-off characteristics are subtle and will vary depending on the type of musical content and the high-frequency bandwidth of your speakers and headphones. Feel free to experiment to find the DSD filter setting that sounds best to you.
The following settings are available only for the Phono input
of the NO5805:
Cartridge Type: Select either moving magnet (MM) or moving
coil (MC) cartridge.
Infrasonic Filter: This option sets the infrasonic “rumble” filter
on or off.
Balance: This option applies balance adjustment to the Phono
input from -3dB to +3dB in 0.5 dB steps.

NOTE: After connecting all source components to the N0 5805 / N0 5802, we suggest using the Setup menu to set the names of all inputs that are not being used to “Disabled.” This action will remove the unused inputs from the list of available inputs, thereby mak ing source selection faster and more convenient.

VOLUME

The Volume settings let you customize the action of the N0 5805 / N0 5802 Volume and Mute functions.
Max Vol: This setting determines the maximum volume level setting in 0.5dB increments between 40.0dB and 80.0dB. The factory default maximum volume is 80.0dB. Set this value to the volume slightly below where your speakers start to distort audibly.
Mute: This setting lets you set the amount of Speaker output and Line output level attenuation that occurs when the Mute button is engaged, in 0.5dB increments between –10dB and –80.0dB. The factory default mute attenuation is –40dB.
Turn On: This control lets you set the initial volume upon turnon. Choose a turn-on volume level in 0.5dB increments between 10.0dB and 60.0dB. The factory default setting is 40.0dB.
Last: When selected, sets the turn-on volume level to the last used volume setting.

CAUTION: Setting the Turn On parameter to “Last” can result in louder-than-expected power-up volume if the NO5805 / N0 5802 was set to a high volume level setting when last powered down.

Taper: This setting lets you choose the desired taper for the volume control from the following options:
Mode 1: The faster you rotate the volume knob, the more quickly the volume will change. Slowly turning the knob slows the rate the volume changes, allowing you to make precise adjustments in the listening level.
Mode 2: Similar to Mode 1, with a “faster” response curve, with more gain change for a similar range of knob travel.
Mode 3: When increasing the volume the volume changes quickly through the low volume range, and then decelerate in the higher range, for precision adjustments. When decreasing the volume the control works oppositely, changing quickly through the high volume range and decelerating in the lower range.

POWER

The Power parameters let you customize power-related functions.
Standby: This setting lets you set the Standby mode to one of the following options:
_ Green: This mode removes power from almost all of the N0 5805 / N0 5802’s circuits, allowing the unit to be activated only via an IR control signal, a 5V – 12V trigger voltage or a press of the Standby button. This mode provides maximum power conservation and is the factory-default Standby mode.
Power Save: This mode removes power from the N0 5805 / N0 5802’s audio circuits but keeps the control circuitry powered and ready to receive commands from any of the control inputs. This mode provides moderate power conservation.
Normal: _This mode shuts off the unit’s display and mutes its audio outputs, but keeps all of its control and audio circuits powered. This mode provides the least amount of power conservation but allows the audio circuits to remain warmed up to deliver optimal performance at all times.
Auto Off: This setting lets you engage or disengage the Auto Off function, which puts your N0 5805 / N0 5802 into the Standby mode after 20 minutes of inactivity (no audio signal, and no user- control input)

DISPLAY

The Display function allows you to choose whether the front panel display stays on all the time), or turns off after a selectable amount of time.
_ Auto Off: When set to Off, the display remains lit as long as the unit is in listening mode. When set to On, the display will turn off after 3, 5 or 10 seconds.
Timer:_ The timer determines when the display turns off, after 3, 5, or 10 seconds.

Amplifier Enable: Selecting Off turns off the amplifier section of the unit so that it will operate solely as a preamplifier or headphone amplifier. The default value is On.

SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR (SSP) SETUP (Applies only to the N0 5805)

The SSP (Surround Sound Processor) mode allows the N0 5805 to be seamlessly integrated into a multichannel home cinema system. Any analog input may be designated as the surround sound processor input by turning this mode ON. When the SSP mode is activated the N0 5805’s volume control is deactivated and the level is fixed at unity gain. This allows the Surround Sound Processor to control the volume of the Left and Right speakers powered by the N0 5805 in unison with the rest of the system. Room correction EQ and level calibrations performed in this mode and stored in the surround sound processor will be maintained unaltered.

CAUTION: Prior to entering SSP mode make sure the volume of your surround sound processor is all the way down. Gradually increase volume as desired and perform calibration.

To start, enter the Setup mode and navigate to the analog input you plan to use for SSP and select On. Connect the N0 5805 with a surround-sound processor (see illustration on next).

1. . Make sure the N0 5805 and all associated components are powered off and disconnected from electrical outlets.
2. Connect the output connectors on the surround-sound source component to the input connectors on the surround-sound processor. For example, if the source component is a Blu-ray disc player, connect it to the appropriate input connectors on the surround sound processor.
3. Connect the front left and right output connectors on the processor to the desired analog input connectors on the N0 5805. For best performance, use balanced connections whenever possible. NOTE: we recommend renaming the input you select for SSP operation to a name like “Theater” or “Movies.”
4. Connect the center, surround, and subwoofer output connectors on the processor to the appropriate input connectors on the designated power amplifier(s).
5. Connect the N0 5805’s speaker outputs to the system’s front left and right (primary) speakers.
6. Perform a system calibration as per the surround processor’s instructions.
7. Select the designated Analog input whenever you wish to listen to multichannel source material.

If the error message does not clear call your Mark Levinson dealer or Mark Levinson customer service.

If your unit is connected to a home network, use a PC or tablet to access the N0 5805 / N0 5802’s GUI via a web browser. On the right side of the Utility page, you will see a red bell icon with various status indicators, including operating temperature (shown in degrees Celsius). Note the indicators and open the “Fault History” file. This data may help you or a technician diagnose any amplifier malfunctions or adverse conditions.

NO POWER

Examine the power cord to ensure that it is connected to both the AC mains connector and a working, un-switched electrical outlet. Check the mains fuse accessible on the rear panel mains outlet. Examine the electrical circuit breaker to ensure that power is being supplied to the electrical outlet to which the N0 5805 / N0 5802 is connected. Make sure the N0 5805 / N0 5802 is not in Standby mode. The front-panel standby LED illuminates fully and continually when the N0 5805 / N0 5802 is On. The LED flashes slowly when the N0 5805 / N0 5802 is in Standby mode.

REMOTE CONTROL DOES NOT OPERATE

Eliminate obstructions between the remote control IR transmitter and the IR receiver on the N0 5805 / N0 5802’s front-panel display. Check the menu to make sure the front panel IR was not disabled. Make sure the rear-panel IR input connector is not being used. Make sure the remote control is positioned within 17 feet (5m) and within a 45-degree angle of the N0 5805 / N0 5802’s front panel. Make sure the IR receiver on the N0 5805 / N0 5802’s front-panel display is not exposed to intense sunlight, halogen light, or fluorescent light. This can cause IR reception to become unreliable. Replace the remote control batteries.

NO SIGNAL AT THE SPEAKER OR LINE OUTPUTS

Examine all audio cables to ensure a reliable connection between the N0 5805 / N0 5802 and all associated components. Examine the speaker cables to ensure a reliable connection between the N0 5805 / N0 5802 and the speakers. Make sure that the connected speakers are working by connecting one of them to another amplifier (if available). Make sure the volume is set to an audible level (start at 30 and move slowly up from there).
Make sure the mute is deactivated. The word “Mute” appears on the front panel display when in Mute mode. Push the Mute button to return to normal operation. Make sure the Offset setting for the selected input is not reducing the volume to an inaudible level. See Setup/Input for more information. Make sure all associated components are connected to working electrical outlets and powered On. Make sure the source device connected to the selected N0 5805 / N0 5802 input is producing an output signal.

“MISSING” INPUT

Make sure the Name parameter for the selected input has not been set to Disabled in the Setup menu. (Refer to Setup/Inputs/ on page 18 for more information.)

AUDIO HAS A HUMMING SOUND

Disconnect components one at a time to isolate the problem. Once you have identified the problematic component, make sure it is properly grounded and connected to the same electrical circuit as the N0 5805 / N0 5802.

VOLUME CAN’T BE SET TO MAXIMUM

You have the option of establishing a maximum volume level in the Setup menu. If this option is set, it can prevent the N0 5805 / N0 5802 from reaching the maximum volume level of 80.0.

FRONT-PANEL DISPLAY NOT WORKING

Press any remote or front panel button to restore the display from the off mode. (Refer to Setup/Display/Auto-Off on page 22 for more information.)

NO CONNECTIVITY VIA ETHERNET

Verify that an Ethernet cable is correctly connected between the router, switch or hub and the N0 5805 / N0 5802.
Verify the age of the router, switch or hub. If the router, switch or hub is more than ten years old, there may be a communication issue with the N0 5805 / N0 5802. Power cycle the unit and use a newer router, switch or hub between the network and the N0 5805 / N0 5802.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS…
